Apparently they logged someone with a foreign IP address attempting to log into my account with a repeated incorrect password...

They were able to send me the ip address of the person who was "hacking" my account, but what do i do with it???

Anyway, they suspended my account in the meantime, whew, guess i'll have to call tommorow to check out if everything is ok, since i think they are closed now. I should probably ask how they were able to catch this criminal, considering i dont have, nor have i ever had an account with CharterOne :)
